System.currentTimeMillis() returns time in milliseconds (obviously). I don't think there's any point in measuring time any more precisely, because of the slowness and variances in the execution of Java itself. More precision would be 'false precision' I think.. -Archie ___________________________________________________________________________ Archie Cobbs * Whistle Communications, Inc. * http://www.whistle.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
